Wall Hydrant/sillcock repair - help! vacuum breakers and plastic piping

Hey all, looking for some help with a project that's driving me nuts...

Merely bought a new business firm, and i of the outdoor wall hydrant faucets is had a cleaved anti-siphon device in information technology. I did some searching and establish that it looks EXACTLY like the Mansfield 630-7500

OR the Nibco "Model 90":

I bought the Mansfield i and brought it home...and it'south SLIGHTLY TOO BIG! It won't quite fit in the whole on top of the hydrant. Otherwise, it looks almost exactly the aforementioned.

I can find no other markings that would identify what this is...the faucet says:

Flo-rite
Anti-Siphon
IAPMO
ASSE-1019A

I'll postal service some pictures if that could perhaps help anyone. Tin anyone indicate me in a direction on this i? Thanks!

Removal of the old and replacement with a new i is simpler than repairing the onetime 1. That may be a little overstated, just information technology's a screw one out and screw the other ane in deal.

Or may exist sweat solder on or well-nigh likely in a new business firm at that place is a proprietary PEX fitting sweated on and then transitioned to PEX.

Pricing depends on the individual doing the work. Ask your buddies who they use for plumbing. They won't be recommending someone not worth his weight in Gilt.

That bibb will just screw off and on. The pipes are CPVC and in your movie information technology seems that that connectedness could be suspect. (See how that connection'south all tweakedÂ¿ Information technology may be some type of hinge joint but who knows.) Check out the area you lot have pictured for leaks subsequently replacing the bibb.

Unless it's an optical illusion, it looks like that connection is under some stress since the two pieces don't align very well. You may need to hold that plastic piece while you either unscrew the hose bib, or simply turn the plastic piece itself while property the hose bib.
